Brilliant place to stay!
We had such a fab time in Opunake especially thanks to Suzie and her awesome pad. The bach is trueoldschool Kiwiana and comfortably fit our two families of two adults and four kids. Great property for kids to play outside with plenty of space, safe bike storage and nice and warm in this colder weather. Thank you for the milk and cookies that you left for us - what a treat. We hope to be back and reccommend this place to all!

Everything there for family stay. House needs exterior wash but interior cosy with excellent furnishings and heating. Towel rail in bathroom was broken and bath/shower adequate but basic. Very handy to shops and cliff walkway.

Spacious historic house in Opunake
Our family of five had a wonderful week here. The kitchen was very well equipped and the lawn was great for cricket. There were some great DVDs and games and a helpful folder with local info. The house was very close to the main street and near the start of the beautiful Opunake walkway. Suzie was an amazing host. We would definitely come here again.

Family beach holiday
This was a great place for a multi-generational holiday with more room and facilities than expected. The house is comfortable and Opunake is an interesting place to visit with a long walkway, good beaches and art scene. About an hour to New Plymouth with lots of places to visit between.

Exactly what we needed as a whanau. A quiet comfortable, homey place to chill out at. Close to 4 squares, pubs and cafes. Great communication. We'll be back... Hopefully in summer to make the most of the beach
